Something has replaced Mario. Nobody believes me, but I'm certain of it. He looks all nice and smiley and regular on the outside, but I've seen the things he does when he's CERTAIN nobody is around. That's not our hero anymore. It's a monster. A monster that has everyone on it's side. Nobody bats an eye when I speak of how he roams at night. Nobody listens when I mention the screams coming from deep in the woods. I warn the people as much as I can, but nobody notices. Nobody but me. Anyone who knows what I'm talking about has been long dead, I'm assuming. Taken care of by that freak in red. Not even Mario's brother has noticed. One of these days he will. And when he does, that creature will be done for.

It's too bad there's more of them.
